Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Like many others, I am very concerned by the proposals to continue with the ICRIR, to appeal court judgments and to block an inquiry into the killing of Sean Brown against the recommendations of the coroner. The UK Labour Party needs to end the failed approach of the Tories and deliver on its promise to repeal and replace. This Government and any future government must continue with the European case until this legislation is binned. We will meet with the Secretary of State as part of the Good Friday Agreement committee, along with Deputy Tully, on Thursday. We will raise these matters with him. Will the Taoiseach ensure that the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister know that there has to be a repeal of this Act? A repeal and replacement of it was promised. This absolutely has to be done. Too much is at stake for him to renege on such a promise.
